ГЛАВА 28 Сеньор Ролдан восседал за своим столом в агентстве сопровождения «Белена», чрезвычайно довольный тем, как умело обошел глупую полицейскую ловушку.

Немецкий акцент и просьба снять девушку на ночь – это же очевидная подстава. Интересно, что они еще придумают.

 
 

Default Folder X – Macintosh Installation

 
Remarkably, Finder is the default folder Mac management system that has been integral to macOS since the very beginning of its graphical. An OS X app is really a folder with a name like replace.me OS X understands this to be an application that you can double-click and run (even though you are. Choose View→Show View Options to open the View Options dialog box. Now hold down the Option key. The Use as Defaults button magically changes to Restore to.

With a normal workflow, one may start with selecting a TV Show, select episodes, add files, rename, and start the next TV show. With this option enabled, all lists will be cleared when you select another TV Show, to avoid mixing up things. In case your workflow is different, for example you do mix TV Shows or you have the habit of adding files first, then you may want to disable this option by unchecking it. In theTVDB data, sometimes shows are not named in a consisted way. In the video demo in the beginning of this article, you could already see this.

To speed up things, episodes information is being cached in the SQLite database, which in most cases is just fine. Weekly broadcasted shows will most likely not update more than once a week, and most of the time information is already known far before the next episode is being broadcasted. For old show, the data may never update.

TheTVDB is however very active and old data may be corrected and updated at any time. After the indicated number of days, Rename My TV Series will check if an update is needed, and if so, execute the update.

Default this is set to 7 days, but you can pick anything you want. Some special values are:. Each time you download episodes for a given TV Show, the TV Show will be added to the history list, giving you quick access in the main window. This is convenient for TV Shows you work frequently with. For example shows you never or no longer use, or because the list became too long for your taste.

As you type, or change the format string, you will see the example change as well. It will give you an idea what the episode names will look like. Others may find that annoying. By checking this option, Season or Episode numbers will always be at least 2 characters long, and if needed a leading zero will be added.

However, sometimes episodes or seasons beyond number 9 may not yet exist when released, which may result in a less nice looking file or folder name in the future. Therefor this options forces a length of at least 2 characters, as many TV Shows do not exceed 99 episodes or 99 seasons. As an example H is the official generic name for a video encoding format, but x is the commonly used open source H encoder. So H is a format, and X is a software library to create H files.

Some users prefer to see x This works for all codecs starting with H26, for example H will become x To debug, undo, or just see what has happened, a log file can be created.

In this log file you find the failures, original filename and directory, and the new filename and directory. The creation date, or last-modified date depending on your Operating System , of your video file and extra files, will be changed to the first aired date. This gives you right away an idea when a given episode was first aired by looking at the files, and it allows for easier sorting of files.

Personally I find it convenient to see this as a visual feedback, but some like to work faster and in that case, clearing the list right-away can be more convenient. This option will create a banner JPG file and an NFO file in the directory that holds the directory with the new named video file in it. Here episode information file NFO will be saved with the episode video file, with the same name. Again, this file will include some basic episode information. Audio and Media information will be pretty basic, since tools like KODI tend to overwrite this anyway.

Here you can choose if a series name and episode title needs to be changed when it comes to using caps or not. Your options are:. Sometimes, titles or names have funny characters in it, and depending on your Operating System this will cause problems.

Here we can define what characters should be replaced with what character or text. Windows does NOT allow these characters in filenames reference. Not every program you try is all that great and awesome, or doing what you were looking for — suggestions are welcome, but incase you really want to remove Rename My TV series, follow these steps. Just drag it into the trash. If you saved the icons as well, then you can toss those as well.

Thanks Mike for catching this so fast. Hangon — I just downloaded the DMG and am getting the same message again.

My local file works just fine …. Got the unsigned version, opens fine. The application is generic. Get some sleep and thanks, great program! May have found a bug, or a preference Im missing. Renaming Dr. Who under the old version would include the year in the name, the new version, while listed in the search, no longer includes the year. Mike, I just updated the Mac version — still not signed though.

Some minor bugs have been fixed related to languages and such. Hi Hans. It installs fine, all install options left as default. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you. Hi Tony — I just uploaded v2. Would you mind testing this one under Windows 7? I have found a fix for the above problem — it appears the program is launching minimised. It appears there are some sizing shenanigans present as resizing it is difficult.

Interesting and good find! I have no means to reproduce this issue though only have Windows 10 available — but the application does remember size and position by default and at startup resizes if needed. I remembered Microsoft has some free virtual machines available link for Internet Explorer testing. I think I may have found what triggers this and it seems specific for older Windows versions. I have already changed the default language to German.

No other languages are downloadable except of English. You can set the languages in 2 places: in the main window temporary and setting more permanent, setting the language in the main window at program startup. I set it to German on both places, I also tried Italian. I set the languages to Italian on both places and, with more series, I have only the English titles available.

Thanks Bob, I found the issue; the standard query for episodes does not seem to honor the accepted language return. Because of this I noticed a bug when mixing TV shows in different languages, I hope to implement that tomorrow.

Thanks for reporting and thanks for your patience …. Thank you too for the quick response. Which Windows version do you run? I think I found the issue. I hope to post a new version today. Thank you very much! OK, fixed the issue — other languages work very well now. One bug did get introduced with this; when mixing shows in different languages. For those mixing shows; when adding episodes of a show in German, and the adding episodes in English will either result in all episodes becoming english, or blanks for where there are none.

I do have a fix for this in mind, but that will take a few hours to implement. I just downloaded and tested it, now it works well! Switching back and forth between language should work properly now. Please note that not all shows are available or complete in all languages. So your mileage may vary. You can now even mix languages in the Selected Episodes list — for those working with mixed shows. Some additional things have been added, like tracking the database structure version for the language issues I had to change a few things in the database.

In the future I may create a more elegant way to handle this. Right now, if the database structure is old, all data will be dropped and a new database will be created.

Additionally, the similar named files will no longer be renamed if the related media file failed to rename.

This will be indicated in the log file as well. When toggling languages: — When you were searching for a show, the search will be started again in the selected language.

If the search fails, it will revert to English. If this fails, it will revert to English as well. Pending issue : Signing the application for MacOS. Signing issue for MacOS has been resolved — the application is now signed officially, FFprobe and notifications work as they should! When choosing that options, episodes will be numbered starting with episode 1, season 1. If Season 1 ends with episode 24, then season 2 will start with episode 25, etc. Episodes for Episode 0 zero, a.

So sorry about not realising it. Thanks Michael for testing and for creating this package! USB drive? Were there extra files? Strange characters in the filename? Access rights? To do some testing, I usually test with dummy files, here an article I wrote on how to make dummy files. Feel free to email me directly; webmaster at tweaking4all dot com, or reply to this notification. Most of the time, the files are on the same pc, but when I encountered this issue, I was working on files on a different pc win7 , by network share.

It eventually got stuck on episode 12, but it took 40 minutes to get there meaning it did not zoomed thru first 11 episodes, then stall on 12th.

That said, I have no permission issue at all. The reason I had to get my files renamed a 2nd time from the network share is because they were misidentified by my media library software. The series I was working on is Reign My media software was fooled into identifying it as some Asian anime series with a totally different name. Instead of removing manually from almost files, I chose to have file name corrected by RmTS. Which brings me to question this new behaviour when dealing with year in parenthesis.

In previous version, RmTS would put the year in file name only when needed and would not when not needed. Since, v2, it seems we have to make this choice ourselves. But this eventually causes identification error in media sftwr. In my usage scenario, I need to keep switching file name format to with or without year.

Any chance we could go back to automatic treatment of adding year to file named only when needed? Per your request; I just released v2. The thought behind that was that show names either have or do not have years behind them. I can see your situation though, and will see if I can bring back the year in the title.

Since you had a rename issue on a network share; could it be that your media library software was working on those files at the same time?

Lesson learned: I will not work anymore on actual media file over the network. I might test with dummy files. And a special thanks for merging 2 episodes into one single file feature. I made that request a while back.

With network connectivity, I have had my own share of issues as well, even on the Mac eg. Are you running over WiFi or Ethernet? I always disable it, as it used to lock files on my Windows setup in the past. So thank you so much for that! Your preferred filename format should save, each time when you change it, it will be stored in the database if not; then please let me know. Donations are always much appreciated, no matter how small or big … but nice compliments here, or sharing the link on social media or elsewhere is excellent as well.

You might even be a genius, as you just probably just nailed what caused the problem: thumbnail preview! On my former pc, I used to have this switched off, but the feature is enabled by default?

While pleasing to the eye, it tends to bug down on large sized folders.. About donation, I tried that Flaterr thing even though I never heard of them , but could not find the way to send the deposited amount to you. I am not at ease with Bitcoins. How about you setup a Paypal account?

Thanks again. Hi Again. Wired network is the way to go. Like you said: it not only locks files, but it also bogs down your system with large media folders. I always use Explorer in details view without preview just because of those 2 reasons. But as with all large companies; you have no leg to stand on and there is no normal person to talk to or discuss the situation with.

However; PayPal donations can be made to hans at luijten dot net. Triple digits seems to apply only to Doctor Who , so I went to tvdb and could not see this on their end. I went in settings, chose the format with year, which corrected show name, but then when I tried to rename Outlander, it wanted to rename to Outlander Season 0 , which makes me wonder if I should skip optionally? So this can be explained. When testing Dr. Additionally thanks Michael!

About the episodes merging feature, I noticed the original title remains. Last, I could not retrieve my deposit on Flaterr, but managed to have you named as recipient, just want to make sure you got my gift. Merging; Yes I can try to implement an option to keep both titles. Thanks for the little cosmetic fixes! Especially a typo is pretty bad. Flattr is indeed a pain, and I suspect they must be making a lot of money.

Flather notice how I never spell it the same way… was a pita. PS: Almost forgot, do you think Rename my TV Series could eventually prompt the user at startup that an update is available? Well, as you can read in my other response; I did already implement it. Had a bright moment thanks to some extra coffee hahah. Prompt for updates has been on my mind for a while now. Flattr is indeed a poor name marketing wise haha, I have to stop and think each single time I type it, and yes PayPal is a rip-off as well.

Donations are very rare though and I very much appreciate that folks like yourself donate — so thanks again! OK, after some extra coffee, I figured a way to implement using both titles not yet released.

Very true! Windows 10 and Trend Micro both try any stop me from installing. My bad about the version number fixed it and uploaded a setup with the correct version number — this is the same version. They want developers to sign their applications.

Developing these applications is just something I do for fun, and I do not see myself paying that kind of money yearly for a certificate. Maybe I can find something like this for Windows as well. If anyone has a suggestion; feel free to comment.

I downloaded and installed had to bypass Windows and Trend warnings. When I tried to rename Trend refused to do so, a ransomeware warning for every file. Went back to ver 1. However; I do take this very serious, so I just did an extensive virus scan with multiple virus scanners. Windows Defender : 0 threads found. Trend Micro Housecall : No threads found. Eset : Infected Files: 0. A full scan before and after which takes forever it seems , still nothing detected by either.

Hi guys, thanks for the new v2. I just tried it and I found an issue. I am not sure if this is the same issue but here I go:. The series is called Goldbergs. When I search, I see there are 2 series with that string. I select that series name and it downloads the proper listings. I am finding the search a little fuzzy. Stuff that worked in V1 is not working the same in V2.

It will find 2 TV Series containing that string. I actually found that was a difficult series to find under V2, even pasting the TVDB name into the box did not work. Posts are filtered for spam and every post needs to be reviewed the first time a user posts. Even then I still check the posts — I just get too many inappropriate posts spammers, folks advertising their stuff etc , to let it go all automated.

Thanks for reporting! I did find a really easy fix in the code to avoid the double-click-search issue. I have again! I get about 4 pages of history in there. You are already doing it in at the next step: when we double click an episode, it populates to the 3rd section Selected Episodes. Thanks again MfU for your suggestions!

This must be am OS limitation. On my Mac, I can use the scroll-wheel to go fast through the list. I have to admit that it took me a lot of clicking to get such a long list.

This was originally implemented as you described, but … I ran into some weird focus issues when doing the double click I think it was under MacOS — but I wanted to keep the applications consistent over all 3 platforms. Happy and safe holidays for you too! Windows version. Thanks Carl! Glad to hear you are liking the application. Thanks very much for the reply. No worries Carl, happens to me all the time as well.

Thanks for the compliment and for the great catch on the slash — with all the differences in the file systems, I must have overlooked that one probably because of the directory separators.

In the next release I will add it to the default list. Your effort is appreciated. Your older versions were fantastic too. Now you can click on the popup. For a picture of the menu key look here: Wikipedia — Menu Key. Quick Search Episodes; I can see that relatively easy to implement, maybe by using a search-as-you-type kind of solution.

If there are enough users interested, then I most certainly will add this to the To-Do list. Names of multiple tracks; Mentioning the additional languages and their title in the extra language, will come with quite a few challenges. Not to mention what to do when shows are incomplete in the other language.

This is not so pretty. If both tracks have the same codec like AC3, one codec information should be enough with listing the language of these tracks subsequent to the codec like:. With all the experiments I did, I never got it to work reliably. Oh and any suggestions on how to do this are most welcome of course!

As for multiple Audio tracks; I found the metadata in files quite often to be incomplete, incorrect, or simply missing.

This will probably bring up the question regarding subtitles as well … so I need to spend some time thinking about an elegant solution.

If found, you have the episode number and you can take a look into the episode list the user has searched before. Only set titles automatically that are unambiguous. Anyway one who wants to rename all titles correctly maybe also wants to set metadata correct and can fix this after finding missing metadata. Unless I completely change things again.

Thanks again and Merry Christmas! Please make column width of all panes customizable. Maybe a right click could make a proposed filename editable for a quick change before renaming all files?

Happy New Year to you Alexander! Are you thinking of a divider between Selected Episodes and Selected Files? Also: what screen resolution are you working with? Just for my reference. The challenge here will be that the names get refreshed frequently based on TheTVDB info, which would not be the same as the info after you edited it.

Is there any type of mistakes you see recurring? Sometimes the titles in episodes are very long and this pane is too slim for displaying the whole title. I had some files with a longer prefix string in episode name.

The second part of the episode name was not visible due to a too slim pane. So I could not find the correct episode to assign to the files. But between the other panes it is also good to have a divider because the name for selected episodes or selected file can be very long! Editing proposed filenames: Some continuous TV shows set the year of production to the season number. It is good to remove leading zeros except one for these files. Maybe it is good to have this as an additional option.

But I thought it also would be good to correct single filenames directly before renaming. Maybe someone finds spelling mistakes and could correct it on the fly.

In v2. Each of these 3 lists will have a little search box below them, and a counter for each list to indicate how many rows were found. For now I have not yet focussed on the support for multiple audio tracks. The primary audio track is the one that will be used.

Having said that: the tags for metadata in the different video formats is very inconsistent. As you can see; a lot of redundancy, and even with that I have not found a single video player application that shows all of them correctly.

Not to mention the [lack of] proper support for tags by the used container format avi, MP4, MKV, etc , and by used playback software or application. Anyhoo — there will be a lot of new features coming your way. A quick search in the episode list would be great, was about to request this enhancement myself, but found it has already been suggested Thanks for this great tool! Thanks Frank! This is one area where Filebot is better although it frequently gets it wrong.

When two or more series have the same title but different broadcasting years; e. The latest version of your software does not add the year to the filename, causing media players and media software to scrape the wrong information for a series.

Open Settings and add the year in the Filename format textbox for the specific renaming session of a particular series. Thanks for bringing up. So far I have not ran into any issues myself, but one media player is not the same as the other. Hope this helps. No matter which choice I make, the program does not open. I am using Win7 Pro 32bit Service pack1.

Any suggestions? Thanks for your time, dan…. Not sure what may have happened, but usually this means a task in the background is accessing the database. What is the database directory on Linux Ubuntu systems? I suspect they may have become corrupt when I tried to run a Rename query without having a connection and force-quit the app. I hope this does not happen again. It looks like frozen. I guess you read all meta information from these files when loading.

You could add a loading screen or something like that to show the progress until all files are added. Much better is to list all added filenames directly and start a background thread for reading meta information. It would be great to add an additional possibility to rename files:If you select some files or episodes in the lists and these selected entries have episodes or files allocated, the button rename should allow to only rename these selected entries from the list.

This allows to rename files of a TV show with many files step by step. The loading of metadata and files depend on the speed of TheTVDB and the speed of your Internet connection — at the first load of a show. Depending on your expiration settings, default is 7 days, data is retrieved locally and should be fast. This is why I implemented the use of SQLite database. While loading data the headers of the sections indicate activity.

Loading data from TheTVDB, in a separate thread, would not be impossible — but the implementation will take some work and I have to finish a few other applications before I can start this. Renaming only the selected files; I may or may not implement this. My concern with this would be that a user could have selected a row by accident and not anticipate that with that selection only one show gets renamed. That goes straight to the top of the ToDo list. And the same goes for the default path for the log file.

I think right now it defaults to the related directory, but I may be wrong. I think we have talked at cross purposes. Try adding files or more at once. It will take very long until your program responses again without showing activity meanwhile. Of course this depends on your speed of your internet connection and is good for me. If the TV show is in cache, does this button only gets episodes from cache or does it compare them with thetvdb too if there has been an update? I hear you on some filenames getting too long.

I see that making sense. I wish TheTVDB would be more consistent with this — not a big fan myself of using year numbers to indicate a season, but that is a personal preference. I have seen some shows where regular season numbers and years have been mixed. What are your thoughts on that approach? RMTV will automatically default update data, if the data in the database is older than 7 days.

Every time you close RMTV, it will forget what episodes you assigned to what files. Ah that makes more sense …. I only included it for the very few users requesting this.

I really have to think about what I can do to make this intuitive for the user. Thanks again for the input — I very much appreciate it and it will help make the tool even better! Sometimes Episode titles are too long — e. This is a complete episode title for some specials. I cannot differentiate between titles for mapping. I saw these continuing TV shows with season numbers and then changing into year for season naming too. There are the filenames shown how they should be named after clicking on the button rename.

Of course RMTV should forget what episodes you assigned to what file. There is no need to save such information! The Force Refresh has already been implemented in my test version.

I do have 2 major other projects that need my attention as well. And if not do you suggest any similar program for movies too which I have same problems with my movie banks. It takes much more time to move forward step by step and consider how long it takes to correct my 2 TB mp3 music archive. Thanks for this great comment again, it does put a smile on my face imagining your enthusiasm!

Thanks man! My application does not do movies — sorry. Thanks again for the compliments — awesome that you enjoy the application. B — Your winner card in this software is ease of operation in general usage. I have some Questions too and I would be glad if you answer them. Or Press cancel to kill the program. I mean is the software able to find out video file format by itself?

And if not what is the best way to make the arrangements. I hope best of all for you. Hi Rimartic. Thanks again for the compliments and showing me the strengths of the application from a users perspective! I have actually seen with most of my applications used in surprisingly different ways than what I originally designed them for.

All good though. This means that the application could not find ffprobe. Under Windows this is ffprobe. For MacOS X, the ffprobe executable is in the. Please verify and let me know, so I can start digging into this and see what may have gone wrong. If we resolve issue 1 , then that would resolve this issue as well.

As for the behavior of the grid of the selected files and episodes; this is because I had to use a different control to keep both lists synchronized when scrolling. I guess this is a topic we should look at once we resolved issue 1. The video format is expressed in p, p, 4K, etc. Media tools like Kodi can read this.

Not my cup of tea. Thanks again for your enthusiasm, it does keep me motivated to do more …. Therefor we would also reach to software functions in every place we are working in it and have tools right with us. I believe such a thing will make your program more dynamic.

Many of my friends and colleagues come to me when they want to buy a computer or upgrade their desktop system or mobiles for free of course! But I love everything related to computers. Other functions will need to be handled in the RMTV application select show etc. So keep up the good work and keep enjoying computers and other gadgets — I know I do Architect, oh wow, nice — my dad used to be an Architect! My last job was CTO of a medical laboratory — so work is related to computer stuff.

I hope to see huge and great outcomes of your job actually not every huge outcome!! But what I can do is according to your open source program and also free of charge, I know a few multi program provider websites which have over 50k to k visitors and I will introduce your software and put download link of your site over there and I hope it helps more people around the world to see and download your program.

Nothing wrong with asking question. Promoting the application elsewhere is always good — I could use some more visitors for sure. I very much appreciate that! And visiting my website is great as well! So I wanted to avoid that from happening. Thanks for the nice interaction! This problem has not been reported by other Mojave users. There are several reasons why this may happen;. If your files are on a network share; make sure you have the proper access rights that allow you to rename the files.

I have seen this happen with some network shares as well, where one machine is trying to access a file scan for meta data, create a thumbnail, etc while your Mac is trying to rename the file. What could be the issue for this and is there an easy fix I can do on my end? A few things that may have caused this in your situation;. So it would take 7 days before RMTV would try to get updated info. Now having said that; when looking for a show, the initial data will always be retrieved from TheTVDB.

If the last updated date provided by TheTVDB is newer than the one stored in the database, the database data will be updated.

But … this date is not always provided correctly it seems. So to force an update of the data, go into settings and set the cache expiration days to zero — it will ALWAYS update. After that you can if you want to set this back to 7 days. But the choice is entirely up to you. Setting the cache expiration to zero did not cause it to update.

It immediately repopulated the same episode list with the same missing episodes. I ran the program on a different computer, and it grabbed all the episodes just fine. So no big deal, as I was planning on using this other computer for this job from this point forward anyway.

But a force refresh button would certainly help in this situation. There are a few other requests see above from Alexander that I want to include. Then again, I main not entirely know what you mean. Thanks for your kinds words — probably one of the best motivating words so far! Just started using. Perhaps restarting the program fixed the problem — not sure why it did not work then did work.

As for Drag and Drop — this should already work. What OS are you running? For MacOS additionally; drag and drop on the dock icon should work as well. My internet connection is OK with everything. I am at a loss to understand what is going on. Any suggestions are more than welcomed. There are probably a few more reasons, but these are the ones I could come up.

More API details can be found here. Everything else internet related was ok on my side, and I asked some friends to try to acces tvdb. While RmTVs could not run, I could not acces tvdb. I am a user of Emby server and Emby for Kodi clients and recently, Emby introduced a major read huge update to their system.

To make matter worse, once the Emby library rescan was over, a similar rescan of all 3 Kodi clients was needed. This will disable all Chrome browser extensions and ad blockers which can often cause page loading issues.

Other things to try would be deleting your browser cache and cookies, but you probably tried that. Unfortunately, society wants me to have a full time job as well … Oh I so wish I could do development like this full time. Thank you for providing us with free, intuitive, malware free, well performing software AND friendly support too. We could use a lot more Hans out there.

Thanks MfU! Long time no talk!! You know, usually after release of a movie in internet, based on time of releasing, it starts with Cam, HDCam, HDScrn, and, … many other sort of craps!!! Of formats like for instance:. Man, I can feel it right now your head is about to explode! To answer all these questions.! I think you got what I mean and what is my confusion. Best of all. Thanks MfU for chiming in!! Shetland most recent episode Shetland. Episode 1 2.

Episode 2 3. Episode 3 4. Episode 4 5. Episode 5 6. Episode 6. Uneasy Lies the Head that Wears the Crown 2. London Bridge is Falling Down 3. Et in Arcadia 4. Foreign Bodies 5. A Show of Unity 6. A Coburg Quartet 7. A Public Inconvenience 8. The White Elephant. The Fuller Dogfight 2. The Flatwoods Monster 3. The Lubbock Lights 4. Operation Paperclip 5.

Foo Fighters 6. The following would be convenient wishlist item …. Please check version 2. Hope this at least keeps you going. Excellent number of examples! I could make it a default for that particular OS. I am a new user and I love your program, it has some great options, I love the move feature as one of them. I have found one issue I am using release for Windows 2. Is their something I am doing wrong? As for your question; this should work — maybe you ran into a little bug.

Do you have some example filenames for me to test? Feel free to remove the files from DropBox. With these kind of tests I always create an empty dummy file. I found the problem. Seems one of the standard functions was giving an unexpected result.

So I created a function of my own that should handle this correctly now version 2. But file created has only 1 width for season and episode e. I have tried a few different codes and numbing options hoping to get it to work but no luck. And your filenames: Stargate — S02E07 — Message.

I hope I understood that correctly? That should do the trick. Did you restart RMTV after making the change? This should be an easy fix, which I will incorporate in the next release. Silly mistake on my end — my apologies. Again apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks for confirming! So I am trying out your program on Ubuntu and dropping some shows in that are p and even with ffprobe ticked the renamer only wants to name them p.

A little test you could do with the specific files. I would however like to request an addition to the available file formating codes.

Thank you very much for the very nice compliment and I do like your way of organizing your series. For this new parameter we could indeed take the last episode air date, if a show has been ended. Now the question how we would want to handle shows that you started before they ended, and what to do when they actually did end. Then again, it would probably only be a niche group of users that may use this.

Please, can you add a splitter to resize the Episodes list too? Still stuck in one of my other projects, I try to not jump too often between projects.

Im trying to rename Velvet which returns nothing with the year in the search and three shows without the year:. When I select Velvet no episodes are shown from theTVdb — as the episodes are only listed in Spanish with all blanks in English on the website so that makes sense, however when I change the language to Spanish the app refreshes, selects Tipping the Velvet as it is first in the list I guess , and reverts back to English.

I have also tried setting the default language to Spanish in settings to no avail. Thank you very much for the compliments! And while testing this, I can see this to be slightly annoying. My best guess is that one or the other TheTVDB user is working on it, so maybe we have to be patient until that person is done. You could also participate and complete the list yourself. I have not considered TheMovieDB — the data seems pretty complete there though.

On my list of additional source, I do have MazeTV. On MazeTV the list seems complete, but the titles are in Spanish. Haha, yeah Linux has a way to go before I can fully switch to it — unfortunately, because even Apple is throwing up some roads block that I as a developer do not particularly like haha.

Not sure if that was the motivation for TheRenamer to stop. Thanks for the compliment and … questions are always welcome! Yes you can rename batches, but unfortunately finding the matching show an episode is manual. I have been using the software for a year or 2 and Love it. Just installed 2. But just wanted to know if you were going to make the TV show drop down box scrolling? Because I have more than 40 shows that I work with.

Glad you like the new version! When there are too many items in the list, you should see a little arrow at the top and bottom of the list, allowing you to scroll through the list. Granted, I would have preferred using my mouse scroll wheel for this — but it appears OS specific MacOS, for example, allows using the scroll wheel.

Thank you for the quick response. That helped me a lot. Here is information for you. I am running Windows 10 dual monitors but not the same size. A user can also trigger actions by dwelling or holding the pointer still for a specified amount of time which will trigger the programmed dwell actions. Finder is the default file manager and graphical interface shell of macOS.

FolderActionsDispatcher is responsible for monitoring changes to the filesystem to run Folder Action scripts. This utility allows developers to easily install command line tools for building, creating, and editing Xcode projects through the terminal, but does not require Xcode to be installed. It is possible to execute this program by running xcode-select –install in the terminal. The loginwindow process displays the macOS login window at system startup if auto-login is not set, verifies login attempts, and launches login applications.

It also implements the Force Quit window, restarts macOS user interface components the Dock and Finder if they crash, and handles the logout, restart, and shutdown routines. Users are assigned their own loginwindow when they log in; if a loginwindow process belonging to a specific user is force quit, they will be logged out.

ManagedClient manages various functions pertaining to managed preferences and configuration profiles. Setup Assistant is the app that allows users that have installed a fresh copy of macOS or have just bought a new Mac to set it up and configure important settings like Computer Accounts, Apple ID, iCloud, and Accessibility settings.

Invoking Archive Utility manually shows a minimal GUI letting the user change Archive Utility preferences or choose files to compress or uncompress. BOM is an abbreviation of Bill of Materials. Bill of Materials files or.

In some instances, users can choose which VOB file to open. It is only available on certain Mac Pro models. Screen Sharing is a utility that may be used to control remote computers and access their files. To connect, one may enter a VNC or Apple ID and authenticate as a local user on the remote computer, or, if the computers are linked via the same Apple ID, automatically initialise the connection.

It supports features such as a shared clipboard between the two computers and remotely transferring files. The feature must be enabled in the Sharing preference pane in System Preferences. Ticket Viewer is an app that displays Kerberos tickets. Crash Reporter is the standard crash reporter in macOS. The developer tool CrashReporterPrefs can be used to change modes, as can using the terminal command defaults write com. CrashReporter DialogType [basic developer server]. In basic mode, if Crash Reporter notices an application has crashed twice in succession, it will offer to rename the application’s preference file and try again corrupted preference files being a common cause of crashes.

When reporting a crash, the top text field of the window has the crash log, while the bottom field is for user comments. Users may also copy and paste the log into their e-mail client to send to a third-party application developer for the developer to use.

The name “Classic” is also sometimes used by software vendors to refer to the application programming interface available to “classic” applications, to differentiate between programming for Mac OS X and the classic version of the Mac OS. The Classic Environment is a descendant of Rhapsody ‘s “Blue Box” virtualization layer, which served as a proof of concept. The Classic Environment can be loaded at login for faster activation when needed later , on command, or whenever a Mac OS application that requires it is launched to reduce the use of system resources when not needed.

It requires a full version of Mac OS 9 to be installed on the system, and loads an instance of that OS in a sandbox environment, replacing some low-level system calls with equivalent calls to Mac OS X via updated system files and the Classic Support system enabler.

This sandbox is used to launch all “classic” Mac OS applications—there is only one instance of the Classic process running for a given user, and only one user per machine may be running Classic at a time. If the user chooses to launch the Classic Environment only when needed, launching a “classic” application first launches the Classic Environment, which can be configured to appear in a window resembling the display of a computer booting into Mac OS 9. When the Classic Environment has finished loading, the application launches.

When a “classic” application is in the foreground, the menu bar at the top of the screen changes to look like the older Mac OS system menu. Dialog boxes and other user-interface elements retain their traditional appearance. The Classic Environment provides a way to run “Classic” applications on Apple’s G5 systems as well as on most G4 based computers sold after January These machines cannot boot Mac OS 9 or earlier without the bridging capabilities of the Classic Environment or other software see SheepShaver.

The Classic Environment’s compatibility is usually sufficient for many applications, provided the application using it does not require direct access to hardware or engage in full-screen drawing. However, it is not a complete clone of Mac OS 9. Early releases of Mac OS X would often fail to draw window frames of Classic applications correctly, and after the Classic Environment’s windowing was made double buffered in Mac OS X Panther , some older applications and games sometimes failed to update the screen properly, such as the original Macintosh port of Doom.

However, the Classic Environment “resurrected” some older applications that had previously been unusable on the Macintosh Quadra and Power Macintosh series; this is because Mac OS X replaced Mac OS 9’s virtual memory system with a more standard and less fragile implementation.

The Classic Environment’s performance is also generally acceptable, with a few exceptions. Most of an application is run directly as PowerPC code which would not be possible on Intel-based Macs. Some application functions are actually faster in the Classic Environment than under Mac OS 9 on equivalent hardware, due to performance improvements in the newer operating system’s device drivers. These applications are largely those that use heavy disk processing, and were often quickly ported to Mac OS X by their developers.

On the other hand, applications that rely on heavy processing and which did not share resources under Mac OS 9’s co-operative multitasking model will be interrupted by other non-Classic processes under Mac OS X’s preemptive multitasking. The greater processing power of most systems that run Mac OS X compared to systems intended to run Mac OS 8 or 9 helps to mitigate the performance degradation of the Classic Environment’s virtualization. Dashboard is an application for Apple Inc.

These are intended to be simple applications that do not take time to launch. Dashboard applications supplied with macOS include a stock ticker, weather report, calculator and notepad; users can create or download their own.

Before Mac OS X Like application windows, they can be moved around, rearranged, deleted, and recreated so that more than one of the same Widget is open at the same time, possibly with different settings.

New widgets can be opened, via an icon bar on the bottom of the layer, loading a list of available apps similar to the iOS homescreen or the macOS Launchpad. After loading, the widget is ready for use. Dashboard was first introduced in Mac OS X It can also be accessed by a dashboard key.

Starting with Mac OS X In OS X As of macOS Grab is a utility program in macOS for taking screenshots. It supports capturing a marquee selection, a whole window, and the whole screen, as well as timed screenshots.

Apple licensed the core technology from fusionOne. Support for many pre-October devices was built-in, with newer devices being supported via manufacturer and third-party iSync Plugins. Support for Palm OS organizers and compatible smartphones was removed with the release of iSync 3.

Before the release of Mac OS X Mac subscription service provided by Apple. However, since the underlying framework still existed in Lion and It is used to purchase, play, download, and organize digital multimedia, on personal computers running the macOS and Windows operating systems.

It was announced on January 9, Finder would take over the device management capabilities. Sherlock, named after fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, is a file and web search tool created by Apple Inc. Like its predecessor System 7. Sherlock extended the system by enabling the user to search for items through the World Wide Web through a set of plugins which employed existing web search engines.

These plugins were written as plain text files, so that it was a simple task for a user to write a Sherlock plugin. Since most of the standard plug-ins for Sherlock provided by Apple itself no longer function, it was officially retired and removed in the release of Mac OS X It could automatically inform users of new updates with new features and bug and security fixes to the operating system, applications, device drivers , and firmware.

All updates required the user to enter their administrative password and some required a system restart. It could be set to check for updates daily, weekly, monthly, or not at all; in addition, it could download and store the associated. In earlier versions of OS X, the updates were installed, but critical files were not replaced until the next system startup.
